While young, I had a lot of exposure to the California coast.
Here are some photos of our family when I was young.
My brother Jeff and I with San Diego Naval Base in the background.
Mom, Jeff, and I along the waterfront in San Diego.
I think this is at Scripps Institute in San Diego. It is a giant clam.
Jeff and I at La Jolla coves. This is near where we found the Abalone that Uncle Ralph cooked up for us.
I think this is near San Francisco. I am three or four years old here.
Many of our vacations exposed me to the ocean when I was young and always gave me a sense of peace.
